Fingerprinting

King University Security Department provides fingerprinting services for students,
faculty, and staff engaged in all King University programs that require a criminal
background check.

When is a criminal background check required?

King University requires background checks for students entering certain programs
that have direct contact with medical patients and/or children under the age of eighteen
(18); students completing clinical rotations in a health care facility and/or local
school systems.

Background checks for King University academic programs must be completed through
the King University Security Office.

Where can I be fingerprinted?

A King University Security Investigator will assist you in scheduling your appointment
to be fingerprinted for a background check. Please fill out the appropriate form below
and contact Investigator Jon Frazier by email at background@king.edu or by telephone at 423.652.4307.

Each link will take you to the King University Portal and you will need to login to
complete the form.

An appointment is needed and will be scheduled at a location off campus once you have
completed and submitted all paperwork.

What do I need to bring?

A valid photo ID

If you need to be fingerprinted for an agency other than King University, you must
provide the fingerprint cards.

What does it cost?

King University programs: $65.00

All fees are payable through the Business Office and will be added to the normal billing
process.

How does a criminal background check affect my admission to a program that requires
such checks?

The existence of a criminal conviction does not necessarily mean that a student will
be denied admittance to the college or its programs. Each criminal conviction will
be evaluated on a case by case basis. However, students with convictions for any of
the criminal offenses listed below shall be denied admission to King University programs
that have direct contact with medical patients and/or children under the age of eighteen
(18). Other criminal convictions will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
